Identiv Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2015 Results
Fiscal Year 2015 Revenue of $60.8 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $(17.6) Million Fourth Quarter Revenue of $13.1 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $(6.6) Million
FREMONT, Calif., March 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE) today announced financial results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter (Q4) ended December 31, 2015. For the fiscal year, total revenues from continuing operations were $60.8 million, GAAP gross profit margin was 38%, adjusted EBITDA was $(17.6) million, and GAAP net loss was $(39.2) million. For the fourth quarter, total revenues from continuing operations were $13.1 million, GAAP gross profit margin was 22%, adjusted EBITDA was $(6.6) million, and GAAP net loss was $(19.1) million.
"Last year’s results clearly demonstrate the need for focused execution in our core markets of physical access and transponders to increase efficiency in addressing current market and customer needs and improve business predictability. To this effect, we announced and implemented an organizational alignment in the first quarter of 2016 which lowered our non-manufacturing headcount by approximately 25%, and reduces our future operating expenses by approximately 40%, to bring our break-even business levels in line with recent performance and accelerate our return to profitability," said Steven Humphreys, Identiv CEO. "Underneath the tough aggregate business results, our physical access business remains strong, our government customer base has expanded, and our Hirsch dealers and customers remain committed. We have realigned expenditures to achieve an overall reduction, while increasing our investment in and focus on our strong base of Hirsch customers and dealers, our government customers, our physical access partnership with Cisco and its channel partner, as well as our transponder and reader offerings. These have proven to be a solid base with capacity to drive sustainable, profitable growth. As the physical world leverages mobile, IP, RFID, and related technologies, by focusing and deploying our technology leadership and long-standing reputation for quality, we believe we are positioned to regain profitability and re-establish our sustained growth.”
Financial Highlights Review
- Full year 2015 revenue was $60.8M, down 25% from $81.2 million in 2014. The increase in premises sales of 5% was offset by lower sales in transponders, which decreased by 41% due mostly to lower demand from a small number of larger transponder customers, as well as lower sales of desktop readers, which decreased by 40% internationally. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $13.1 million compared to $17.2 million in the third quarter of 2015 and $19.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, reflecting a sequential decline of 24% and a decline of 33% from the fourth quarter of 2014. The sequential decrease was mainly driven by lower revenues in the credential segment.
- Full year 2015 GAAP gross profit margin was 38%, compared to 41% in 2014, primarily reflecting a higher proportion of physical access sales, offset by inventory reserves of $2.3 million taken in the fourth quarter. GAAP gross profit margin decreased to 22% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, compared to 44% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 and 42% in the fourth quarter of 2014, mainly reflecting inventory reserves accounted for in the fourth quarter of 2015. The gross profit margin excluding the inventory reserves would have been 40% in the fourth quarter of 2015.
- Full year 2015 operating expenses, including research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative costs, but excluding restructuring and earn-out related charges as well as goodwill impairment charges, were $49.0 million in 2015, compared to $40.3 million in 2014. This reflects a sequential increase of 22%, primarily the result of approximately $5.7 million expenditures related to legal and accounting professional fees associated with non-core business activities recorded as general and administrative expenses, which increased by 54% accordingly. The Company increased its investment in research and development by 33%, while sales and marketing expenditures decreased by 2%. For the fourth quarter of 2015, GAAP operating expenses, including research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative costs, but excluding restructuring charges and goodwill impairment, and earn-out related charges were $11.7 million, compared to $13.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 and $9.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, reflecting a sequential decrease of 16% and a year over year increase of 19%. Both the sequential decrease and the comparative increase are primarily the result of continued expenditures related to legal and accounting professional fees associated with non-core business activities, which were highest in the third quarter of 2015 and accounted for approximately $1.4 million in the fourth quarter.
- Full year 2015 adjusted EBITDA was $(17.6) million, compared with $(1.3) million in 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2015, adjusted EBITDA was $(6.6) million, compared to $(3.3) million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 and $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, predominantly reflecting the lower revenue, lower margin, and continued legal and accounting professional fees.
- Full year 2015 GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $(39.2) million or $(3.62) per share, compared with GAAP net loss from continuing operations $(18.4) million in 2014 or $(2.12) per share. Fiscal year 2015 results included restructuring costs of $1.3 million and impairment charges to goodwill and long lived assets of $8.8 million, while there were restructuring costs of $3.1 million and earn-out consideration of $3.5 million in 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2015, GAAP net loss was $(19.1) million, or $(1.77) per share, compared to $(7.2) million in the third quarter of 2015, or $(0.66) per share and GAAP net loss of $(6.2) million, or $(0.58) per share in the fourth quarter of 2014. The fourth quarter of 2015 included restructuring costs of $0.9 million and impairment charges to goodwill and long lived assets of $7.8 million, while the third quarter of 2015 included restructuring costs of $0.2 million and the fourth quarter of 2014 included restructuring costs of $0.2 million, and charges related to earn-out consideration of $3.5 million.
- Cash was $16.7 million at December 31, 2015, compared with $36.5 million at December 31, 2014.

Restructuring, Outlook, and GuidanceThe Company has implemented an organizational realignment to strengthen its focus and resources in its core businesses and to bring its cost structure into line with its revenue performance. The Company has implemented a worldwide restructuring plan to refocus its resources on the core businesses of physical access and transponders, and has embarked on the consolidation of operations in several worldwide locations. The Company estimates these actions will eliminate business activities which represented approximately 5% of fiscal year 2015 consolidated revenues. Further, the Company expects to bring its quarterly operating expense run rate below $6 million starting in the second quarter of 2016 and to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA in the second half of 2016. This estimate excludes certain professional fees associated with non-core business activities. A non-operating charge associated with the restructuring plan will be recorded in the first quarter of 2016. The Company is providing guidance for fiscal year 2016 of revenue between $56 million and $60 million and positive EBITDA in the second half of fiscal year 2016.
